Hi I had previously installed windows vista on my second hdd and decided to get rid of it, so I reformatted the hdd it was on which was my E: drive. But whenever i start up my computer i get the longhorn boot menu that asks me if i want to boot longhorn or xp pro. So i edited the boot.ini and deleted the line with windows vista and saved it (I also backed it up) But now instead of booting up normal and automatically going into xp i get a boot menu that asks if i want to boot into xp or default windows. Does anyone know how to get rid of this so I automatically boot into xp without reformatting and reinstalling everything on my c drive

Make sure the rdisk()   numbers match and also the partition numbers

only edit the default=  part though.

I know it works for Windows XP Pro; I’m not sure about Home.

Right click “My Computer” > pick “Properties” > pick the “Advanced” tab in “System Properties” > under “Startup and Recovery” click “Settings” button> uncheck “Time to display list of operating systems”.

That should fix it.
